The boys have so many different options to play with and use while outside. But the one thing they were missing was skates. I remember growing up that my friends and I would spend the majority of our summers skating in each others driveways when we weren't at the skating rink. I still love to skate but my hubby is not a fan of it so we never go skating at the local rinks unless the kids go to a birthday at one.&nbsp;</div><a name='more'></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v1m9vT9xMX4/Vbe3-GXRXsI/AAAAAAAAK0s/jCWJhU05ja4/s1600/cardiff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="youth lime" border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v1m9vT9xMX4/Vbe3-GXRXsI/AAAAAAAAK0s/jCWJhU05ja4/s320/cardiff.jpg" title="cardiff skates" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My boys will tell you that they don't know how to skate and I think it's more less there scared to try something new. Well Pumpkin decided he wanted skates and so I contacted Cardiff Skate Co. because I loved how their skates can easily grow with the kids. The skates I got for review were the Youth <a href="https://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_1529007940"></span>Cardiff Cruiser<span id="goog_1529007941"></span></a> in Lime. I am so happy with these skates because not only can Pumpkin wear them but his brother can as well. Plus when the girls get big enough they will be able to use the skates as well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HccnBwuAc2Q/Vbe_gZsGZQI/AAAAAAAAK08/SsxjUxUBGMk/s1600/cardiff2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HccnBwuAc2Q/Vbe_gZsGZQI/AAAAAAAAK08/SsxjUxUBGMk/s400/cardiff2.jpg" title="cardiff skates" width="245" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Pumpkin has tried using the skates but keeps giving up to quickly because can't seem to keep his balance. I keep telling him that it just takes practice just like learning to ride a bike. It only took Bubba about 10 minutes to get the hang of skating. He is not the greatest but at least has found some confidence in himself to keep trying them.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pPbmwNFYySE/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pPbmwNFYySE?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Youth Cruiser skates fit U.S. shoe sizes Kids' 12 all the way through Adult's 5 or 6. The youth cruisers also comes with a set of four speed control discs designed to slow down the roll off the wheels and provide a more comfortable skating experience for the beginner. They are also labeled with a R and L to help your kids get the skates on the correct feet. I like that these skates are bootless so they are easy to get on and off for the kids. I really like that their unique wheel configuration makes for a more stable and balanced child compared to other skates that are available to kids.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ilvKa4O2-rs/UumPnX7fWjI/AAAAAAAAI7o/w5RgZBY1NZQ/s1600/disclosure.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ilvKa4O2-rs/UumPnX7fWjI/AAAAAAAAI7o/w5RgZBY1NZQ/s1600/disclosure.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Tristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11773064348829050507noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294106267928907538.post-33785542965188534572015-07-26T20:15:00.002-04:002015-07-27T10:46:29.086-04:002015 Back 2 School Event Sign Ups<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P6blS9qchEo/VbZCOB--r5I/AAAAAAAAK0I/bOWnrb4PLlM/s1600/back2school.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P6blS9qchEo/VbZCOB--r5I/AAAAAAAAK0I/bOWnrb4PLlM/s1600/back2school.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>CALLING ALL BLOGGERS!!

I know mine sure does especially when I make homemade pizza (it's their favorite). But one thing I also dread is cutting the pizza because our cutters never seem to cut the pizza well, so then were left trying to tear it apart even though it was cut. Now that worry is over thanks to the <a href="http://www.greenwaldbrands.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kitchen Monster Pizza Cutter</a>.&nbsp;</div><a name='more'></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GxUS6OkmiQ8/VbTmZ-uX2TI/AAAAAAAAKzE/K2h60z8NMx8/s1600/kitchen%2Bmonster2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GxUS6OkmiQ8/VbTmZ-uX2TI/AAAAAAAAKzE/K2h60z8NMx8/s400/kitchen%2Bmonster2.jpg" width="237" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have to say that I am very happy with this pizza cutter. Thanks to the ergonomic handle this cutter is comfortable to hold and even Bubba who is left handed can use it very easily.

She hates when she knows her siblings are outside and she isn't. Now thanks to the GoPod she can go outside as well and I don't have to worry about her getting into stuff. The <a href="http://www.kidco.com/products-page/go-pods/p7002/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">GoPod</a> has come in very handy this summer &nbsp;while out berry picking, at picnics, parties and just being outside in the yard. Angel was able to be outside, safe and enjoying everything going on.&nbsp;</div><a name='more'></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jVSvoH3hBpI/VbGIkz9cBVI/AAAAAAAAKyM/bpa7xtP5Uq4/s1600/gopod.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jVSvoH3hBpI/VbGIkz9cBVI/AAAAAAAAKyM/bpa7xtP5Uq4/s320/gopod.jpg" width="255" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love how light and easy the GoPod is carry and transport thanks to its carrying bag. I also love the many different features the GoPod offers. Like the locking button that ensures you that the seat is locked and will not fold up on baby. It also has four different height settings so you can make sure that you have the correct height needed for your little one.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8YwT1GiprCA/VbGJN5fB0xI/AAAAAAAAKyU/BSrqVIbj4gE/s1600/gopod2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="274" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8YwT1GiprCA/VbGJN5fB0xI/AAAAAAAAKyU/BSrqVIbj4gE/s320/gopod2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The GoPod also has a wonderful floor pad to keep the little ones feet off unclean surfaces. It also includes a drink and snack holder so your little one can enjoy goodies while out and about with you. There is also five nylon toy loops so you can easily hook your little ones favorites to the seat so they stayed entertained. The storage bag also includes a pocket that can hold your wallet, keys or anything smallish.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I would really recommend the GoPod for anyone with a little one. They are so convenient and come in handy for so many different situations.

One being that we are close to <a href="https://www.cedarpoint.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cedar Point, The Roller Coaster Capital of the World</a>! My husband and oldest son absolutely love roller coasters and are always trying to get me on them. They were thrilled when they found out about Rougarou, a new floorless roller coaster.&nbsp;</div><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My family has been to Cedar Point and Castaway Bay but this was our first trip to Hotel Breakers. This historic hotel recently got a makeover without losing any of its 100 year old historic charm. As I walked down the main corridor I passed by gorgeous amusement park themed paintings and when I entered into the updated lobby I was pleased to feel the historic charm in the architectural structure of the room.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-36zuwD_EJIU/VYm9qu5a7-I/AAAAAAAAKtA/QZu5OERNMDE/s1600/hotelbreakers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="206" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-36zuwD_EJIU/VYm9qu5a7-I/AAAAAAAAKtA/QZu5OERNMDE/s400/hotelbreakers.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After checking in we made our way to our hotel room and we were blown away when we walked in. The headboards featured photos of one of the roller coasters inside the park and the bedding was beautifully coordinated. The technology has also been updated in the rooms. Every room now features a large LCD television, complimentary wi-fi (to a degree) and the lamps even have electrical outlets in them. Making them perfect for recharging any devices you may have with you.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DgmmkutMYTA/VYnECvsiVlI/AAAAAAAAKtY/NPnRzyawuUM/s1600/hotelbreakers3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DgmmkutMYTA/VYnECvsiVlI/AAAAAAAAKtY/NPnRzyawuUM/s400/hotelbreakers3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DmhTAikGWSg/VYnG_00yB0I/AAAAAAAAKtk/5Bv7YTOPG9o/s320/hotelbreakers8.png" width="213" /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4cVTg0AyPvw/VYnG_zqL4zI/AAAAAAAAKto/gSItZxv3Y94/s1600/hotelbreakers7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4cVTg0AyPvw/VYnG_zqL4zI/AAAAAAAAKto/gSItZxv3Y94/s320/hotelbreakers7.png" width="213" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There is also a large closet area, safe, dorm sized refrigerator and microwave.

As we passed through the beautiful five story rotunda we were met with heavy rain, high winds and huge waves. If you are planning a trip to Cedar Point soon I would suggest reserving a room at <a href="https://www.cedarpoint.com/places-to-stay/hotel-breakers" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hotel Breakers</a>. Not only is it steps away from dedicated entrances to Cedar Point and Soak City, but you also receive deals on Cedar Point admission packages including one hour of early entry into the park.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dl7_t1DWt3Q/VYm-a5tfdxI/AAAAAAAAKtI/hLWbilROF4w/s1600/hotelbreakers2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dl7_t1DWt3Q/VYm-a5tfdxI/AAAAAAAAKtI/hLWbilROF4w/s400/hotelbreakers2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>List of Early Rides (2015)</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Gatekeeper</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Millennium Force</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Maverick</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Raptor</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Iron Dragon</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Rougarou</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Planet Snoopy</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ocean Motion</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Midway Carousel</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ilvKa4O2-rs/UumPnX7fWjI/AAAAAAAAI7o/w5RgZBY1NZQ/s1600/disclosure.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ilvKa4O2-rs/UumPnX7fWjI/AAAAAAAAI7o/w5RgZBY1NZQ/s1600/disclosure.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div align="center" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.3999996185303px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Tristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11773064348829050507noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294106267928907538.post-33922736437263649662015-06-23T13:28:00.001-04:002015-06-23T13:28:59.726-04:00Bouncin' High Toward the Sky<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cPdYjixORJQ/VYmDL1otamI/AAAAAAAAKrs/cDZ60Ud8hmQ/s1600/logo%2B%25281%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cPdYjixORJQ/VYmDL1otamI/AAAAAAAAKrs/cDZ60Ud8hmQ/s1600/logo%2B%25281%2529.png" /></a><br /><br />Growing up I loved jumping on my cousins trampoline and some of my best memories with them is being silly on the trampoline. My children have shown the same the love for the trampoline as I had. They were always disappearing to the neighbors house so they could jump on the trampoline. Now thanks to my partnership with <a href="http://www.skywalkertrampolines.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Skywalker Trampolines</a> my children get to enjoy their own trampoline.&nbsp;</div><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bEIGCtvDpbw/VYmOZCPWhKI/AAAAAAAAKsU/_YdFEQrXBtQ/s1600/trampoline.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bEIGCtvDpbw/VYmOZCPWhKI/AAAAAAAAKsU/_YdFEQrXBtQ/s400/trampoline.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The trampoline we received was a 12' round trampoline with a enclosure built in. I would not have a trampoline without an enclosure due to fall risks. I remember bouncing myself off the trampolines as a child and luckily I never got hurt, but I don't want to take any chances with my childrens safety. The frame is made with heavy duty galvanized steel making it both secure and weather resistant. With living in Ohio our outdoor equipment needs to be weather resistant with all rain and snow we get. &nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ey8wfQjvQjQ/VYmSCIavBRI/AAAAAAAAKsg/JDKaMhIfha4/s1600/trampoline2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ey8wfQjvQjQ/VYmSCIavBRI/AAAAAAAAKsg/JDKaMhIfha4/s400/trampoline2.jpg" width="223" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The enclosure net is made with an innovative design attaching it to the jumping mat itself rather than the trampoline frame. This eliminates any gaps between the jumping surface and the enclosure giving your children a safer jumping area. You don't have to worry about your children getting caught in the springs due to how the enclosure is attached. Also the mat that goes around the trampoline helps keep the springs dry and little fingers from getting pinched. The weight limit for this trampoline is a max of 200 lbs. which will allow your children hours of fun on this trampoline. My children all have said they love this trampoline and how bouncy it is. My husband and I love the safety that has been placed into the making of the trampoline.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cNLLXWRf9jg/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cNLLXWRf9jg?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">How would you like to win a 12' Skywalker Trampoline for your family then make sure you enter the <b><a href="http://www.andersonsangels.com/2015/06/fun-n-sun-event-1100-value.html" target="_blank">Fun n' Sun Event</a></b>.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ilvKa4O2-rs/UumPnX7fWjI/AAAAAAAAI7o/w5RgZBY1NZQ/s1600/disclosure.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ilvKa4O2-rs/UumPnX7fWjI/AAAAAAAAI7o/w5RgZBY1NZQ/s1600/disclosure.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Tristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11773064348829050507noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294106267928907538.post-46333096484251157872015-06-17T23:59:00.000-04:002015-06-17T23:59:00.369-04:00Fun 'n Sun Event $1100+ value<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thismamaslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/sun2.jpg"><img alt="sun2" class="size-full wp-image-21762 aligncenter" src="http://thismamaslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/sun2.jpg" height="245" width="250" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Can you believe it!

Excited not really. I hate that it is a fight to get her to let me do anything with her hair because it tangles so easily.

We love growing a garden every summer and I am always keeping up with the flowerbeds. I have been interested in the perks of composting for awhile and was very excited when <a href="http://www.eartheasy.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">EarthEasy</a> agreed to team up with me on the Springing Ahead Event.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FJPTIuDD7yc/VW3dkIaTcSI/AAAAAAAAKn8/dviedZOgOSs/s320/composter.jpg" width="320" /></div><a name='more'></a>I received the Worm Factory 360 Composter which seemed like it would be the easiest for my family who is just starting off with composting. I was right this composting kit has helped my family get into composting fairly easy. I love that it came with everything you needed to get started as well as guide that walks you through everything.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JuNLjXQI87Q/VW3i20hZ0UI/AAAAAAAAKoM/itM3nncGkZ8/s1600/composter3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JuNLjXQI87Q/VW3i20hZ0UI/AAAAAAAAKoM/itM3nncGkZ8/s400/composter3.jpg" width="223" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We have our worm factory sitting by the front porch which seems to be the ideal place for it at our home. Being by the front porch keeps our worm factory out of direct sunlight and the elements. The worms like their temperature to stay between 40 - 80*F. Since the worm factory is a odorless operation we can easily keep composting during the winter as well by simply moving the worm factory indoors.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TqsDiPLDk4g/VW3kM6ox0OI/AAAAAAAAKoY/tmPQ_CunTKI/s1600/composter2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TqsDiPLDk4g/VW3kM6ox0OI/AAAAAAAAKoY/tmPQ_CunTKI/s400/composter2.jpg" width="281" /></a><br /><br />I love that the worm factory is made in the USA. I love supporting local made products and companies that don't outsource. The worm factory also has this handy guide on the top of the lid which has some of the basic needed information so you don't always have to break out your guide to check things. We are having a blast with our start of composting and can not wait to get our first batch of compost to add to our garden. If you have thought about wanting to start composting and lack a lot of room then I would highly recommended checking out the worm factory 360.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ilvKa4O2-rs/UumPnX7fWjI/AAAAAAAAI7o/w5RgZBY1NZQ/s1600/disclosure.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ilvKa4O2-rs/UumPnX7fWjI/AAAAAAAAI7o/w5RgZBY1NZQ/s1600/disclosure.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Tristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11773064348829050507noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294106267928907538.post-18443684671704123872015-06-01T10:33:00.002-04:002015-06-01T10:46:21.796-04:00Gorton's NEW Smart & Crunchy Fish<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TmEegw5U8UI/UktmnOqIzAI/AAAAAAAAIA8/shcX-RoLbN0/s1600/gortonsv2_logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TmEegw5U8UI/UktmnOqIzAI/AAAAAAAAIA8/shcX-RoLbN0/s1600/gortonsv2_logo.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">When my family thinks of frozen seafood we all think of <a href="http://www.smartandcrunchy.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gorton's</a>&nbsp;Seafood and their famous jingle "Trust the Gorton's fishermen..."

I am so thankful that Gorton's makes delicious fish sticks so I can get my children to eat fish without a fight.</div><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S8M23cORPG0/VWxpyRMnNKI/AAAAAAAAKnY/6Vs7oFvXaTI/s1600/smartcrunchy-24breadedfishsticks.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S8M23cORPG0/VWxpyRMnNKI/AAAAAAAAKnY/6Vs7oFvXaTI/s320/smartcrunchy-24breadedfishsticks.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">With having a family of growing children and growing appetites added to busy weeknights I am thankful for Gorton's fish sticks.

Soon, customers are flocking to the Higher Grounds Cafe, and not just for the cupcakes and cappuccino. They've come for the internet connection to the divine. Now the cafe has become the go-to place for people in search of answers to life's biggest questions."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ac_3rXRCnVo/VUOMPiRxNiI/AAAAAAAAKjE/wuH0VczgjoM/s1600/max_lucado2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ac_3rXRCnVo/VUOMPiRxNiI/AAAAAAAAKjE/wuH0VczgjoM/s1600/max_lucado2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I really enjoyed this book and Max Lucado's aim of highlighting hidden, spiritual realities. As we're told, 'prayer moves God, and God moves angels.' There is more going on in the hidden realm around us than what meets the eye. Prayers are heard and responded to in their perfect time not ours. We never know what may result in the lives of ourselves and our loved ones when we dare to be persistent in praying for them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I liked the discussion questions at the end of this book. They helped me to go back and think more deeply about certain things. This wonderful story has showed me that even though I may feel like my life is falling apart that God is all around me and hears my prayers and will answer in his perfect timing.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am giving away a $10 Gift Certificate to Family Christian Store that you could put toward buying your own copy of this wonderful book.

It isn't until the dashing Prince Happenstance comes along, ready for a fight, that they realize that instead of battling each other, they should do what's in their hearts and pursue their true desires (the Prince really wants to be a baseball pitcher).

Though she is my fourth child I still worry about what she is sticking in her mouth to chew on. I worry about some teething toys because there is no real good way to clean them and then you have to worry about germs and bacteria growing. (YUCK) I love toys and teething toys that I can easily and safely clean for my children. That is why I am in love with Angels' new teething toy from <a href="http://www.adenandanais.com/en-us/productlanding/5265/baby/teething-toys/teething+toys.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aden &amp; Anais</a>.&nbsp;</div><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kaNUubONqpk/VUE9vCPZGFI/AAAAAAAAKfw/2tkecXoM1as/s1600/aden2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kaNUubONqpk/VUE9vCPZGFI/AAAAAAAAKfw/2tkecXoM1as/s1600/aden2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Angel got one naturally- derived U.S. maple wood teething toy with 100% cotton muslin sleeve in the princess posie print. I love that this teething toy is made from untreated U.S. maple wood. The smooth wood helps calm and ease the little ones sore gums. The muslin sleeve is very soft and adds extra comfort for the little ones. I know that Angel loves her soft blanket so the sleeve on this teething toy really makes her enjoy it even more.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9b81h5MnwB8/VUE95aDPXjI/AAAAAAAAKf4/f0SmmznU7vk/s1600/aden3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9b81h5MnwB8/VUE95aDPXjI/AAAAAAAAKf4/f0SmmznU7vk/s1600/aden3.jpg" height="320" width="206" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I like that they make fun shapes for the teething toy that coordinates with the muslin sleeve. I love how easy these teething toys are to take care of and keep clean. Simply wash the wooden piece with warm soapy water and allow it to air dry.
